GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- One man was killed and another wounded by an Israeli airstrike targeting a motorbike in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, medics said.
Abed Okel Hijazi, 22, was killed in the strike west of Rafah, director of ambulance and emergency services Yahya Said Khader told Ma'an.
Hospital officials said they identified the dead man as a former member of the Popular Resistance Committees militant group who had shifted allegiance to "Magles Shoura al-Mujahddin", among Salafi factions that are a fringe presence in Hamas-ruled Gaza.
A group by the same name took responsibility for a guerrilla raid from the Egyptian Sinai into Israel in June which killed an Israeli who was helping erect a border fence. more
